Abstract
A refrigerator or ice making assembly may include a housing and a mold assembly. The housing may define a receiving chamber in fluid communication with an air duct. The housing may extend transversely from a first housing end and a second housing end. The housing may define a first mounting slot at the first housing end and a second mounting slot at the second housing end. The mold assembly may include a frame, a heat exchanger mounted to the frame, an ice mold, and a latch bar. The ice mold may be supported on the heat exchanger and define a mold cavity for receiving water. The latch bar may be movably mounted on the frame and extend transversely between the first housing end and the second housing end in selective locked engagement with the first and second mounting slots to secure the mold assembly to the housing.
